Bagan Temples Are CLOSED?! | Myanmar's Most Famous Sight Is Changing (HONEST REVIEW)
The iconic Bagan temples in Myanmar are a must see for any world traveller. But what is Bagan REALLY like to visit in 2020?
The experience of exploring the ruined temples is not what it used to be. Climbing temples to find rooftop views is becoming a thing of the past, with most temples now locked up and restricted to tourists.
But can you still find temples in Bagan with rooftop viewpoints? And should you STILL visit Bagan? We spent 3 days exploring the plains to find out.

Bagan Myanmar Highlights Review Part 1
Situated on the eastern bank of the Ayeyarwady River in central Myanmar, the ancient Myanmar capital of Bagan has been described as a place of exquisite ruins. Two thousand pagodas, large and small, occupy 16 square miles (41.1 square km) of scrubland. Only two other archaeological sites in the Southeast Asia - Cambodia's Angkor Wat and Indonesia's Borobodur - rival the architectural magnificence and beauty of Bagan.

First-Timer's Guide to Myanmar — Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, Lashio | The Travel Intern
Myanmar. What an absolute stunner. On this adventure, we got to visit Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake and Lashio!
Check out what we did here:
YANGON (00:23)
00:25 - Shwedagon Pagoda
Probably the most iconic landmark in Yangon — The Shwedagon Pagoda, which lights up at night and is truly a sight to behold.
BAGAN (00:37)
The best way to get around Bagan, both New Bagan and Old Bagan, is to rent an e-bike, or a normal bicycle would do!
00:58 - Bagan Hot Air Balloon Sunrise Experience
Famous for its hot air balloon ride, we hopped on the tour and got to experience it for ourselves! To catch the sunrise while floating and drifting amidst the clouds was so surreal.
01:15 - Lawkananda Pagoda
Situated on the top of the Irrawaddy River, this is not to be missed!
01:24 - Ananda Temple
Be awed by the beautiful and intricate architecture here.
01:34 - Wonders of Salay & Mount Popa Day Tour
Don't be detered by the 777 steps to reach the top — It is SO WORTH IT.
MANDALAY (01:47)
01:49 - Rv Nmai Hka Irrawaddy River Cruise
It might be 12 hours, but it was a good 12 hours, experiencing the seas and the journey from Bagan to Mandalay.
02:01 - U Bein Bridge
Either the sunrise, or the sunset, they are both spectacular. This bridge is the longest and oldest teakwood bridge in the world!
02:10 - Dee Dote Waterfall
Located deep in the mountainous region one hour away from Mandalay by car, lies this blue lagoon. The hike up to this sweet spot is WORTH IT!
02:34 - Mandalay Hill
WE KNOW it seems like you gotta hike all the time in Myanmar, but really, when you're at the top, don't you think you get the best views? :-)
INLE LAKE (02:49)
One of the must-dos if you're ever in Myanmar, is to get on a boat and explore the ins and outs of Inle Lake!
LASHIO (03:03)
03:08 - Gokteik Viaduct
The best way to travel to Lashio — by train! Get to admire the different landscapes of the countryside~
03:19 - Mountain Biking Exploration
Adrenaline junkies — This is for you! It's definitely not an easy bike path, let us assure you. But worth every bump on the road.
03:35 - Myanmar Adventure Outfitters
03:39 - Dark Horse Falls
Some of us didn't dare to cliff jump because it was THAT scary, but being up there and in the heart of all the action with other travellers made it one of our best moments during this trip!
04:01 - Homestay at Ban Khaw Village
We got to stay in a local homestay and immersed ourselves in the local culture. They were SO warm and friendly, and welcomed us with the biggest open arms ever. :-)
Would you go on the same adventure? :-D Let us know!

Travel Bagan, Myanmar - The Temples of Bagan
Take a tour of Temples of Bagan in Myanmar -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
The jungles of Bagan, Myanmar, are dotted with thousands of spires rising out of the trees.
These are the tops of the some 2,200 temples and pagodas in the area.
The abundance of structures, most over 700 years old make Bagan an archaeological hot spot.
There used to be thousands of more temples in Bagan, but most are now ruins.
Quite a few still remain, though, and some contain beautiful Buddhist trappings and decorations.
Even those that have been emptied or robbed are renowned for their intricate architecture.
The range in sizes, shapes, and styles of the temples ensure that visitors won't grow bored.
With many square miles of temple-containing jungle, Bagan is a visit for several days.

One thing to do in Bagan Myanmar is to see a sunset from one of the tallest temples. It can get crowded but it's an astonishing sight, don't miss it.
You'll want to stay more than a few days in Bagan, I was there for 5 days and it still wasn't enough. Peace, good food, kind people and divine moments what else could you want?
Bagan has the largest concentration of Buddhist temples and ruins in the world. At its highest point, the area had more than 10 thousand temples, of which less than 3 thousand remain today.

Bagan in Central Myanmar has about 2200 amazing Buddhist temples
Some years ago I was struck by the beauty, the sheer size and number of the monuments, when I saw a documentary of Lonely Planet about Bagan in Myanmar. One thing I knew for sure: That's a place I want to go.
To me Bagan is the apex of a civilization, like for instance Angkor in Cambodia. These people created an amazing 2.224 Buddhist monuments, dating from Bagan's Golden Period (1044 -- 1287) with such a simple means.
I stayed in Bagan for thirteen days and visited and photographed almost all of the interesting Buddhist monuments and temples. I hope this unique HD movie with the wonderful music of Deuter's Buddha nature will transmit some of the awe and wonder I felt walking around at one of the most wonderful sacred sites on this planet I have visited.

Explore Bagan - Myanmar day 1
Follow Us as we share with you the things we did on the first day when we arrived in Bagan. Our adventure was off to a rather eventful start. With the sheer ignorance that Thingyan or Water Festival in conjunction with the Myanmar New Year was yet to be over, we rented a scooter only to U-turn back to the hotel to exchange for a hired car with driver. This was after we got ourselves and some of our equipment “blessed”. Hehe…
After a change of clothing and some waterproofing procedures for our equipment, we headed out again in the comfort of an air-conditioned car with a very helpful and friendly driver. He used to work in Malaysia for a couple of years, therefore communication was not an issue since Jim could speak Bahasa Melayu! He was nice enough to help us bargain for better prices when we were buying souvenirs at some of the shops along the way!
Our first day in Bagan was action-packed! We visited 2 local restaurants for lunch and dinner. In between our meals, we swung by an elephant camp to feed the elephants. It was unfortunate that we have missed the hot air balloon season. However, we managed to have a good vantage point of Old Bagan from a newly constructed viewing tower! We visited 3 temples within the day, with one of these offering a very stunning sunset, the mesmerising sight which we absolutely fell in love with. While preparing to leave for the hotel after our dinner at a local alfresco restaurant which serves delicious, affordable dishes, we chanced upon a Kayan lady aka long-neck lady weaving scarf outside a souvenir shop. This was where we bought souvenirs for friends and loved ones at home. We did not forget a photograph or two with the Kayan lady too!
A very fruitful day jam-packed with lots of activities and good food we must say! And the day which initially started out with a minor glitch turned out to truly be one with blessings in disguise as the day unfolds!
Let us know what you think of our Day 1 in Bagan in the comments section below. We would love to hear from you! :D
